javascript-lodashHow can I use Lodash to create a predicate in JavaScript?


Lodash is a JavaScript library that provides utility functions for common programming tasks. It can be used to create predicates in JavaScript. A predicate is a function that returns a boolean value based on the input.

Example code using Lodash to create a predicate:

const _ = require('lodash');
const isEven = _.overEvery([
  _.isNumber,
  _.isInteger,
  _.partialRight(_.modulo, 2, 0)
]);

console.log(isEven(2)); // true
console.log(isEven(3)); // false

The code above uses Lodash's overEvery method to create a predicate that returns true if the input is a number and an even integer. It uses the isNumber and isInteger methods to check if the input is a number and an integer, respectively. It then uses the partialRight method to create a function that returns the remainder when the input is divided by 2. If the remainder is 0, the input is an even integer.

Parts of the code:

  • const _ = require('lodash');: This line imports Lodash into the code.
  • const isEven = _.overEvery([: This line creates a isEven constant and assigns it to the result of the overEvery method.
  • _.isNumber,: This is one of the functions passed to the overEvery method. It checks if the input is a number.
  • _.isInteger,: This is one of the functions passed to the overEvery method. It checks if the input is an integer.
  • _.partialRight(_.modulo, 2, 0): This is one of the functions passed to the overEvery method. It creates a function that returns the remainder when the input is divided by 2.
  • console.log(isEven(2)); // true: This line logs true to the console, since 2 is an even integer.
  • console.log(isEven(3)); // false: This line logs false to the console, since 3 is not an even integer.
